Driver describes freight returning to Aden after a wait in Tur al-Bahah
Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni published driver Salah Al-Rahhal’s account of returning with fellow drivers and their goods towards Aden after roughly a week waiting in Tur al-Bahah for transport to Taiz to resume. The report attributes the disruption to continuing clashes but gives no exact return time or independently documented shipment record. It does not establish a new road closure or a complete halt to supplies; the road crisis itself was covered earlier.

Local report says footballer Osama Al-Sayyad was injured and taken to Aden
Al-Wattan reported that footballer Osama Al-Sayyad was injured on the Bab al-Mandab front and taken to Al-Naqeeb Hospital in Aden. It attributed the injury to a Houthi attack without naming a medical or military source or giving the incident’s hour. The page’s dated Yemen-time publication line places publication inside the window, but the injury and its circumstances have not been independently confirmed.

Abed Al-Mahdi accuses Iran of directing the war in new political comments
Yemen Monitor published comments by Abed Al-Mahdi, a member of Sanaa governorate’s support and mobilisation committee, accusing Iran of involvement in directing military operations and citing an earlier Interior Ministry announcement. He called for unity around state institutions and the armed forces. This is a political assessment from a government supporter, not independent evidence of experts’ presence or a new Iranian operation during the window.

Residents’ account describes families and belongings leaving Al-Hazm; no withdrawal confirmed
Aden Al Ghad quoted unnamed residents saying families and belongings associated with Houthi leaders were being moved from Al-Hazm towards Saada and Amran, with movements starting around sunset on Thursday and continuing into the evening. It also reported an alleged handover of Al-Zindani farms to people from Al-Jawf, for unclear reasons. Publication of the account is new, not proof that the movements began within the window; it remains independently unconfirmed and establishes neither a military withdrawal nor the city’s fall.
